County approves speed reductions and bridge grant applications, including design work for Fleegs Bridal bridge
Summary
Yankton County approved two speed‑limit reductions, a preliminary engineering bridge grant for Bridge 68‑186‑070 (local match ~$16,974) and a design engineering application for the Fleegs Bridal bridge (county match ~$62,512). Commissioners discussed long‑term replacement estimates of $12–$15 million.
The county approved several highway items: lowering the speed limit on a one‑mile stretch of County Road 310 from 55 to 40 mph (between 429 and 430 Avenue), speed reductions for Dayton Lane and Ridgeview Drive (serving about 25 homes), and two bridge grant applications.
Highway staff presented a preliminary engineering (PE) grant for Bridge 68‑186‑070, with a local PE match of approximately $16,974. Commissioners then approved a design/engineering application for the Fleegs Bridal bridge replacement; staff estimated the county’s share of design costs at roughly $62,512 and discussed total replacement cost estimates in the $12–$15 million range. Commissioner Dan emphasized visible structural concerns on the bridge and asked staff to provide photos to communicate risk to citizens.
All highway motions passed on voice votes. County staff and LTAP will continue to help prepare project budgets and grant applications.
